Funny Stuff My Dad Says

Many know that Mom's Pop is a retiree of the rock and roll industry and these days spends time with life in the slow boat in Bolingbroke. Instead of managing Southern Rockers and songs like "Freebird," he's happy tending to his free-ranging chickens.

There is no argument against farm-fresh, organic eggs. Mom loves it when her Pop passes her along a dozen, straight out from under his precious hens. But today Mom got more than she bargained for when cracking a few to poach . . . We'll spare you the details and keep the picture cute.

And the email to follow definitely made it funny:

Subject: No Extra Charge for the Meat!!

Bear, Sometimes a hen will push an egg down under the straw and it surfaces later on. After giving it some though,t I remembered I got two eggs that I thought had been laid on the ground....Anyway, I won't charge you any extra........Be glad it had a baby and not just rotten....Did you open it into a dish with the others? I have always told every one to use two dishes so if you get a bad one it will not go into the " keep " dish......Love,Dad

Rock + Candy: the Macon Music Story

He was born into a legacy of bon-bons, macaroons and the sweet life of candy manufacturing. She was raised in the shadows of rhythm and blues and after-shocks of southern rock. Together, they grew up in the town of Macon, Georgia that they never knew how much they loved until they fell in love with each other.

In 2011, Jessica Walden and Jamie Weatherford founded Rock Candy Tours, a music history tour company that showcases the legacy of Macon, Georgia’s rich music history. Once home to artists like Little Richard, Otis Redding, James Brown and the Allman Brothers Band, Macon was listed among legendary studio engineer Tom Dowd’s “Five M’s” of music towns, joined by Manhattan, Miami, Memphis and Muscle Shoals. They believe Macon’s storied music history doesn't have to live in a museum, but already existed on its sidewalks, street corners, historic structures and if the walls could talk, they would sing.
